flag Dallas County sues Trump administration over $11B pandemic fund clawback, claiming it harms public health infrastructure.

flag Dallas County has sued the Trump administration over the federal government's 2025 decision to reclaim $11 billion in unused pandemic-era public health funds, arguing the clawback is unlawful and undermines long-term health infrastructure. flag The lawsuit, filed in December 2025 and heard by U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, claims the funds—meant to support testing, vaccinations, staffing, and outbreak response—were not restricted to pandemic-related use and were intended to strengthen public health systems. flag Dallas County says the sudden loss forced it to lay off 21 workers and close clinics, mirroring a prior court victory by Harris County that led to the return of $20 million. flag The case reflects broader frustration among local health departments, particularly in Texas, where state leaders have not joined a multistate legal challenge. flag Federal agencies have not commented on the lawsuit.
